DVLA recall archive
The archive holds 15,570 DVLA vehicle safety recalls dating back to 1992. Filter by manufacturer, year, or keyword. To check whether a specific vehicle is affected by an outstanding recall, run a live VRM recall check for £1.99.
Showing 1426–1450 of 1,787 recalls.
TRANSMISSION MAY LOCK AT LOW SPEED
The high-voltage battery charger may not have been produced to specification which could lead to an incorrect detection of an external charging cable. This in turn can lead the request for �P� to be activated. If the speed is less than 5 km/h the transmission would activate the park pawl function which will prevent the vehicle from driving further and could increase the risk of an incident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the high-voltage charger on the affected vehicles.

ENGINE HOOD MAY NOT BEHAVE AS INTENDED IN A COLLISION
The reset mechanism for the dynamic bonnet (for pedestrian protection) might not have been fitted during manufacture. In the event of a head on collision where the dynamic bonnet is triggered the bonnet may not behave as designed thereby putting the vehicle occupants at higher risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check if the bonnet reset mechanism is fitted. Where the reset mechanism is missing fit a reset mechanism.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY FAIL
Cabling may have been incorrectly routed and the wiper linkage could chafe the cabling causing a short circuit. If this happens the wiper motor could become inoperative.
On affected vehicles check cabling. Either rework or replace cabling as required.

On affected vehicles check cabling. Either rework or replace cabling as required.
SEATBELT MECHANISM MAY MALFUNCTION
The threaded connections of the seatbelts at the B-Pillars were possibly not tightened with the required torque. If the required torque is not present it is possible the threaded connection may loosen further. In the event of a loosened threaded connection the intended restraint effect of the seat belt cannot be guaranteed in the event of a collision and the risk of injury during an event may possibly be increased.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check and where necessary tighten the threaded connection.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
In rare cases the propulsion control unit may send an incorrect message. This may cause the electric power train to shut down. Power can be restored by the normal start sequence.
Update software on affected vehicles.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The cylinder head of the high pressure fuel pump may not be to specification. During operation of the pump cracks can form and eventually fuel may leak. Escaping fuel could lead to the engine stopping and fuel leaking in exceptional circumstances could lead to a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the high pressure fuel pump.
COMBUSTION ENGINE MAY FAIL TO START
Incorrect software may cause the combustion engine to non start during use. Restarting the vehicle by using the key will reset the system
On affected vehicles update the software for the fuel control unit.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
The camshaft could break and damage the engine due to it not being manufactured to the correct specification. If the condition occurs it will lead to a sudden loss of drive thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the exhaust camshaft.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
The camshaft could break and damage the engine due to it not being manufactured to the correct specification. If the condition occurs it will lead to a sudden loss of drive thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the intake camshaft.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
The camshaft could break and damage the engine due to it not being manufactured to the correct specification. If the condition occurs it will lead to a sudden loss of drive thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the exhaust camshaft.
ENGINE MAY FAIL

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the exhaust camshaft.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
On certain petrol engines the camshafts may not have been correctly manufactured. They may fail causing engine damage and the engine to stall
On affected vehicles replace camshafts.
ENGINE MAY FAIL

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the exhaust camshaft.
FRONT SEAT BELTS MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED
The front seat belts may have been wrongly installed and may not fully perform as intended.
On affected vehicles check installation and correct if necessary.
INSTRUMENT PANEL MAY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING
The ground cable lug attached to the engine mounting bolt may break as a result of vibrations and oscillations combined with the tension caused through the routing of the cable. Should this concern occur it is possible in the worst case scenario for the vehicle to become completely de-energised. This means a sudden failure of the instrument panel vehicle illumination the hazard warning system and the engine shuts down thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and correct the routing of the ground line and additionally to replace the present lugs on the affected cables.
HYDRAULIC FLUID MAY LEAK
Damage and leaks at the elastomer stop plug of the return line to the hydraulic valve block may occur due to sudden pressure peaks in the hydraulic system. It could therefore be possible that up to 40 litres of hydraulic fluid to escape in a short time unnoticed by the driver. If this damage occurs the vehicle can still be stopped safely. The hydraulic fluid that escapes will increase the risk of collision for other road users
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the elastomer stop plug at the hydraulic valve block with an appropriate screw plug.
EXIT DOOR MAY TRAP PASSENGERS
The anti-trap sensor on the exit door's leading edge may not operate as intended. This could trap a person or object in the door during closing
Adjust and modify door closing operation.
